Key Brexit ministers are holding peace talks after weeks of falling out with each other

The three ministers tasked with delivering a Brexit got
together to "clear the air" on Wednesday after weeks of rows and
tension.

Boris Johnson, Liam Fox, and David Davis, who were chosen by
prime minister Theresa May to head the ministries which will
coordinate Britain's departure from the EU, gathered in the
Cabinet Office to put frosty relations behind them and start
afresh, according to the Telegraph.

Johnson and Fox became involved in an extraordinary row earlier
this month when the latter sent Johnson a letter suggesting
the Foreign Office should be broken up and the task of economic
diplomacy transferred to Fox's Department for International
Trade.

In practice, this sort of restructuring would have meant a key
function of post-Brexit trade policy being taken away from
Johnson's department. Foreign Secretary Johnson firmly rejected
the request.

The Telegraph reported that May was deeply "unimpressed" with
Fox's conduct, and disappointed that her key Brexit ministers
were "wasting time" becoming involved in inter-department
disputes rather than focusing on negotiating Britain's withdrawal
from the EU.

Johnson, Fox, and Secretary of State for Exiting the European
Union David Davis currently share an official residence
in Kent where they are required to work closely together. The
decision to establish a house share arrangement was interesting,
given that most past Foreign Secretaries have enjoyed sole use of
the property.

Alistair Burt, a former foreign office minister, told the
Telegraph last week that the three men are not renowned for being
"team players" among fellow MPs. An unnamed civil servant added
that Fox is "nutty" and "obsessive" — language which suggests he
is difficult to work with.

All three ministers campaigned for Britain to leave the EU prior
to the June referendum. However, Fox is a hardline Eurosceptic
whose views on what a Brexit should entail do not always reflect
those of Johnson and May.
